Plandek vs LinearB
Interested in a LinearB alternative? Plandek is an end-to-end software delivery analytics platform, suitable for all levels of the organization: teams, managers & leadership.
While LinearB provides a wide range of metrics and OTB dashboards, Plandek has highly configurable metrics and customizable dashboards, providing the most flexibility to monitor the metrics that are important to your organzation.

Why choose Plandek over LinearB?
- Plandek gives a more holistic view of the end-to-end development lifecycle compared to LinearB - from strategy and planning, to design, build and deployment, operations and CI/CD.
- Plandek fits to your workflows & processes. Plandek does not restrict you to work in a certain way in order to generate insight. Configure Plandek around your myriad of workflows.
- Plandek works for all levels of your delivery organization – for tech leaders to define custom KPIs & get a 'helicopter view'; managers get analyses to help meet product/delivery goals; teams get smart insight to help hit sprint goals.
- Plandek helps you deliver today and enables you to drive improvement over time – CI can quickly get de-prioritised as we worry about the day job. With Plandek, you don't need to choose - we help busy teams to succeed in doing both.
- Plandek is more like a flexible BI tool – with OTB templates, custom CI dashboards, root cause analytics, and third-party data integration for deeper insights.
- Plandek has the largest configurable metrics library available. Plandek’s metric ‘templates’ enable you to create thousands of bespoke analyses to answer the questions that matter to you.
- Get AI-powered data insights with Plandek SmartViews - our algorithms learn from your ticket history to provide intelligent risk scoring for sprint and epic delivery. Get an automated list of action items, based on any issues found.
- Plandek’s custom features mean it grows with you – your teams will want to innovate and run new views/analytics all the time, this is just not possible with more rigid tools like LinearB.
